I'm always torn on if this type of ruin should be allowed to just fade away or artificially preserved
History Ruins
What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
If it's any consolation, there are hundreds of these towerhouses/castles scattered throughout Ireland, some are like this one, some are little more than a pile of rocks, but a fair number are restored to some degree.
Craggaunowen Castle and Knappogue Castle are restored and used regularly for re-enactments, both are a stones throw from this ruin.
